At long last I've gotten around to adding up the costs and putting some pictures on my website.
The early photographs seem to have gone astray somewhere, either in a camera or a canister of film laying around waiting to be developed. Lets hope it appears soon so I can display them before to long.

The frame spreaders were user as deck beams and other framework wherever possible to minimise waste.
All hull frames are silver quandong with gaboon ply used for sheeting. The centreboard case is maple ply (quite heave compared to gaboon) . Deadwood is kiln dried hardwood and maranti.

Frame No's 1,2 3, 4 &6 are laminated from 2 layers of 10mm quandong in an attempt to eliminate any weakening from cross grain angles. All joins were fibreglassed instead of ply gussetts. Frame 5 and transom frame have ply glued to one side so strength can be maintained. Cabin and cockpit floors are airtight compartments with sealed partitions down the centre and across frame 3 giving 6 separate compartments.

The costings for the hull include all timber, ply, glue, screws, nails, bolts etc, epoxy resin, dynal cloth, fillers and paint.
I had previously purchased an old boat so I had much ot the rigging and fittings etc. Obviously sails etc need to be updated at a later stage.

The breakdown of costs is as follows as at mid 2001:

Hull sheeted and turned right way up.
Many hours still to go.
